"Official pastoral letters and other speeches by Oscar Romero, the martyred archbishop of San Salvador"--

Have you ever felt in over your head? When Eric Peterson became the pastor of a brand-new church, he quickly and wisely turned to his dad for guidance. Eugene Peterson, author of more than thirty books including his bestselling memoir The Pastor and his groundbreaking Bible The Message, here reflects on pastoral ministry in all its complexity--from relationships to administration to the sheer audacity of leading God's people in a particular place. This is Eugene Peterson at his best--lifelong wisdom written with deep love. As the reader, you will glimpse into the tender, witty, personal side of Eugene mentoring his own son. These intimate letters will be treasured by all who read, and applicable to church leaders around the globe. Purchase individually or together with Letters to a Young Congregation as a memorable gift for a church leader or seminary graduate.

"Developed by the Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life, and Youth of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops"--T.p. verso.

First published in 1989, this document by the Black Episcopal Bishops to the whole black community, and to our society as a whole, summarizes a theology of empowerment. Acknowledging basic Gospel truths -- that God created a good world chat God loves -- this document also reminds us char the Black Story is an ancient one. The Black Story and the African story are inseparable; so too are the experience of Moses and God's liberating of the slaves in Egypt, write the Bishops. God cares for the oppressed, they assert repeatedly, not only in history but here and now.
